Does it make sense for the FAs to have been allegedly drugged and raped, then they go to work the next day as if nothing happened, on the same plane with the same alleged rapists?
NO. No way in hell, in fact.
They would have called the company, refused to fly with the SOBs who did this to them, and it would have created quite the scene overall, with the pilots being pulled off the flight and investigated.
But instead, they worked the flight, and told someone about it later? Does this pass the common sense test with you in any way?
According to official criminal justice system statistics 3 out of 4 sexual assaults go unreported. So yes it does pass the common sense test that assault victims who were traumatized probably tried to brave it and finish their trip rather than make a big fuss about it and potentially be fired, ruin their reputation, and be ridiculed by pilots on public forums.
